Yeah I am surprised Bagor hasnt seen higher nitrite levels than that. Everything I have read leads me to believe there is a pretty significant spike at some point. I am seeing nitrite rise in my kids tanks in the last couple of days. Trying to keep it at a livable level via water changes, but I think I may just be delaying the inevitable.
Apparently when you start to see algae growth on the glass its a pretty good indication that the cycle is complete as well. Of course an Algae eater may not allow that to occur.
I have been dosing cycle a fair amount as well in the hopes it will add the bacteria the tanks need to transition the nitrite to nitrate. Jury seems to be out as to whether this actually does anything or not though.
